 6th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards
French divisions were composed of 4 regiments, each regiment having 2 battalions; 2 regiments or 4 battalions forming a brigade.
The French used the massed column attack for reasons of both overawing their enemies, and to have the many men in the rear pressing/forcing the exposed soldiers in the front of the column to continue the advance despite casualties.
Wellington, judging that the retreat by the Imperial Guard had unnerved all the French soldiers who saw it, stood up in the stirrups on Copenhagen, his favourite horse, and waved his hat in the air which was a signal for a general advance.
